Gobi Ka Paratha

June 08, 2009

There are various kinds gobi paratha. Parathas are stuffed breads… I think there is no need to describe much. Very popular in north india. Healty vegetable stuffings rolled on a wheat flour. I just have with any gravy and a cup of yogurt. This is adapted / inspired by a Tarla Dalal recipe to which i have added a few other ingredients. I tried the same one of her's but somehow myself and my husband we both wanted it to be more spicy.

So for this one i have made it a bit spicy. It is very healthy meal though. Moreover my little one likes it very much.
